"heat map"
English to Malay
Tech/Engineering
Electronics / Elect Eng
I found different usage online but none is established.
For example: peta saringan, peta haba, peta panas, or peta bahang.
Definition / Explanation on 'heat map' below:
"A graphical representation of data where values are depicted by color. Heat maps make it easy to visualize complex data and understand it at a glance."
"As we know, we present heat as a dark red color that is a warm color, and blue represent cool light intensity, a heat map uses that color system. This is why we called it Heatmap, and this is how it is easily understandable because we know the warm to cool color system"

"peta panas"
Since this involves a judgement call, 'peta panas' would be my choice.
Reasons:
- For the definition in this context, it leaves the least room for confusion, where 'peta haba' or 'peta bahang' could be mistaken for a map of actual/temperature heat, and 'peta saringan' is too general/vague and thus off.
- In a quick Google search, it yields the most results [35.5 m] far exceeding even the second one which is 'peta haba' [755 k].
- The top Google results show that the term has been used by known and reliable names such as Forex [finance], Microsoft [IT], to name two. I didn't look for usage in engineering context per se, but the context of the usages I mentioned above correspond with the definition of 'heat map' as given here.
- The term is already widely used in Indonesian Malay. I personally don't see the point of creating a new term exclusive for Malaysian Malay, when a term that is easily-understood by both languages already exists and is widely used. It wouldn't be the first term we shared with Indonesia.
